AN ALGERIAN WEDDING.
Its Celebration an Interesting Relic o
Very Ancient Custom.

Very Ancient Custom.
A marriage celebration in Algeria is
an interesting relic of ancient custom.
The bridegroom goes to bring the bride,
and the guests assemble outside the
house will wait for his return. Soon
the sound of pipes is heard coming from
the summit of some neighboring hill,
and the marriage procession approaches
the bridegroom house. The pipers
always come first in the procession,
then the bride muffied up in veil, rid
ing mule led by her lover Then
comes a bevy of gorgeously dressed
damsels, sparkling with silver orna-
ments, after which the friends of the
bride follow. The procession stops in
in front of the bridegroom's house, and
the girls friends line both sides of the
pathway. The pipers march off on one
side, while the bridegroom lifts the girl
from the mule and holds her in his arms.
The girls friends thereupon throw
earth at the bridegroom when he hurTies
forward and carries her over the thres-
hold of his house. Those about the
door beat him with olive-branches amid
much laughter.
In the evening, on such occasions, the
pipers and drummers are called in, and
the women dance, two at a time, facing
each other; nor does a couple desist I'M
til, painting and exhausted, they step
aside to make room for another The
dance has great energy of movement,
though the steps arc small and changes
of position slight, the dancers only
circling round occasionally. But they
swing their bodies about with astonish-
ing energy and suppleness. AS leaves
hutter before the gale, so do they vibrate
to the music; they shake; they SILVER
and tremble; they extend quivering
arms, wave wells, and their minds seem
lost in the abandon and frenzy of the
dance, while the other women, looking
on. encouraged by their high, piercing,
trilling cries, which add to the noise of
the pipes and drums.-Brooklyn Mag

best quality of tea never leaves China;
it is too precious commodity there.
Besides, to enjoy tea in its choicest
flavor it must be used when perfectly
fresh and this freshness is impaired by
the drying processes to which the leaYex
must necessarily be subjected for ex-
port The effect of competition, how
ever. upon the Chinese merchant has
had the effect of making him more
careful in the sorting of the article
and we have the satisfaction of know
ing that, while tea is now cheaper than
ever in England, it has not fallen off in
quality.-LeedS Mercury.

Logan's Temperance Campaign.

An intimate Illinois friend of Gener-
al Logan says he was first elected to
Congress as Temperance man-not as
the nominee or candidate of a Temper
ance party, but as practical Temper
ance man. In those days whisky was
an important factor in campaign, and
grocery treating universal. ''When
Logan was nominated" says the friend,
che stated positively to his friends that
he would not conduct that kind of a
campaign. There should not be drop
of whisky in his politics. The leaders,
who were in many cases interested in
the grocery trade, demonstrated, but
he remained firm. They told him he
would certainly be defeated. Very
well, he said, Il want to run on that
plan and get beaten if necessary
The result surprised every body, as he
was elected by an overwhelming ma
jority. "-Iiadiana State Journal.
In Pasadena, Cal, the w. C. r. U.

of special prayer. Attracted by the
singing and open-air exercises the man
became interested and within q week
was converted. He at once sought n
new and better business, and gave the
first five dollars earned in it towards
the erection of church in tie town.

CHILDREN NEVER YOUNG.
The Work of the Saloon Among the Chill
dren of Poverty-A Pitiable Growth.

The Work of the Saloon Among the Chill
dren of Poverty-A Pitiable Growth.
Who that has lived in cities has not
marked peculiar growth of such CEN
ters?-a class of children who have new
er been young; boys and girls whose
sharp features denote the experience of
sordid age, whose anamic bodies and
fieshless limbs bespeak habitual innutri-
ton and whose sinister and hard ex-
preston shows how fervid is the hate
they already bear to world which has
acquainted them only with suffering
and sin. Everywhere this class of city
bred children is on the increase. Every
where anxious philanthropists, sociolo-
gists, penalogists, are discussing it's
treatment, and wondering WHAT shall
be done with it.
The organization of charity, the or
ganization of criminal administration,
are alike busy with the problem, and
systems of corrective and educational
institutions arise in all our large cities,
founded for this express purpose
Meanwhile, the supply of material does
not diminish, as how should it? The
saloon is at work night and day to
maintain it. Not content with de-
bauching the adult generation, it
plants its deadly seeds in the systems
of unborn children; it projects the
curse from generation to generation.
The city-bred children, whose pre-
mature knowledge of evil, pre-
eocious savagery and anti-sociaI
proclivities may well cause appre-
hension for the future, are made
what they are more by the saloon than
by any other agency. 1t influenced
their lives before they saw the light.
1t gave them weakness or disease Oh
both sides. 1t handicapped them in
the race of life from the start. 1t is.
doing this steadily, continually, and So
ciety nevertheless continues to tolerate
such an agency; continues to act pre-
cisely as though its elimination were
unthinkabic; continues to evolve its
houses of correction, industrial schools,
asylums, probationary institutes, and
shifts Of all kinds in profusion, keeping
its eyes shut to the perennial procre-
ative energies of the saloon, whose I'M
RENTING exercise renders these
remedial measures as futile az the effort
to fill the bottomless jars of the Da-
naides. George Frederic Parsons, i,o
atlantic Monthly.

THE GRUM BIER,
He sat at the dinner.tahle

He sat ut the dinner-table
With disconnected frown-
''The potatoes and steak were UNDERGONE,
And the bread was baked too brown.
The pie too sour, the pudding too sweet
And the roast was much too fat;
The soup so greasy, too, and salt,
Sure twas hardly fit for the cat"

I've seen my mother make;
They are something like, and 'twould do you good

But your mother has come to visit us,
And to-day she cooked the dinner

The tendency of selfishness is to-
ward deterioration of character. Here
is young man, agreeable, gentleman
ly, fascinating, possessed of many de-
sirable qualities, but he takes to the
wine-cup; he resists all invitations and
entreaties to reform; he goes on ia the
qualification of his own tastes and APP
petites; it is continuous downward
track. In ten years admiring friends
begin to say 81 Poor fellow" in ten

heart and he sinks into a drunkard's

Capt. Reed of the bark Ella at Bahia Blan-

stallion belmont in fine condition without
sign of a scratch or bruise after pleasant
passage of IS days. 1t will be remembered
that the departure of. this fine animal in

among horsemen. For the first few days of
